The Loire à Vélo cycle route passes through La Daguenière. The Église Saint Blaise et Saint Nicolas de La Daguenière is also located along this route. Perhaps you would like to rent a holiday apartment for a stay in La Daguenière.
Nature and Landscape
La Daguenière is bordered by the Loire to the south and the Authion to the north. The village marks the westernmost edge of the Loire-Anjou-Touraine Regional Nature Park.
Port Maillard is a former port used for river shipping and offers views of the Loire, its sandbanks and the slopes on the opposite bank. The alluvial soils in La Daguenière favour the cultivation of fodder plants, cereals and horticultural crops.
At Port Maillard, you can observe the wildlife that lives along the river and settles on the sandbanks during the summer breeding season.
Cycling and Exploration
The La Daguenière cycle rest area is a secure area with services tailored to cycle tourists. The free accompanying booklet for the discovery tour of La Daguenière is available from the tourist information office.
History and Culture
La Daguenière is listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The six former ports of La Daguenière preserve the memory of the once-thriving river trade; today, they serve as renovated, pleasant leisure areas.
Water and Wildlife
The Port Maillard kitesurfing spot offers runs that may be 600 m long; the current ranges from 1 knot in the deepest areas to 4 knots in certain channels. With winds from the southwest to the west, the Port Maillard kitesurfing spot in La Daguenière may be of interest to kitesurfers.
Events
The La Daguenière festival committee organises a flea market every year in June.
